Colon suffered a torn biceps in the regular season finale at Miami, but is expected to be ready to go for training camp.

“I’m happy to be home,” he told reporters during a conference call. “I always wanted to be back with the Jets. It’s unfortunate that I got hurt. There was a time when I didn’t know if it was going to happen, especially with me getting hurt again, but it all worked out in my favor.”

The re-addition of Colon should alleviate the pressure on new right tackle Breno Giacomini, who won a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks last season and then signed a reported four-year deal with the Jets. That move was necessitated by free agent Austin Howard’s departure to the Oakland Raiders.
